Trump Is About to Bankrupt China the Soviet Union Way.
He just set a Soviet-Style trap for China.
Trump plans to raise U.S. defense spending by 50% to $1.5 trillion in 2027, about 5% of GDP.
This isn’t about Russia.
Russia’s economy can’t keep up.
This is aimed squarely at China.
It’s Reagan vs the Soviet Union—version 2.0.
Beijing now faces a dead-end choice:
Match U.S. spending → crush an already fragile economy
Don’t match it → fall behind militarily and lose face globally
Either way, China loses.
That’s exactly how the arms race bankrupted the USSR.
And that’s why Beijing is panicking about this decison.
I have a lot of respect for anyone who stands up to serve our nation but when one does, you need to remember it is the American people you work for…
This EPSTEIN AFFAIR is NOT going away!
And an early lesson learned for everyone regarding this affair, ELITES don’t give a sh!t about children, you, or anyone for that matter. There are two standards of justice in our country. One for the elites (I include the uniparty in this club) and another standard for everyone else. Today was another brutal and stark example of the two different standards we appear to adhere to in the United States.
This has to change and quickly.

This 3-minute clip of RFK Jr. talking about Trump is one of the best things you’ll watch all day.
“I had him pegged as a narcissist, when narcissists are incapable of empathy. And he’s one of the most empathetic people that I’ve met.”
“He’s immensely curious, inquisitive, and immensely knowledgeable. He’s encyclopedic in certain areas that you wouldn’t expect.”
“Whether it’s vaccines or Medicaid or Medicare, he’s always thinking about how this impacts the little guy. And the Democrats have him pegged as a guy who’s sort of sitting in the Cabinet meeting talking about how can we make billionaires richer. He’s the opposite of that. He’s a genuine populist.”
Trust me, watching this beats reading it. Kennedy had even more to say.
This AI picture came in on my X/Twitter feed. While I admire the creativity, thanks to the heavens that Apple Original Films cast Brad Pitt in that F1 lead role rather than me. F1 is going to sell a whole lot more tickets — because Brad Pitt is so good in this movie. Go see him!
To be a leader, you need to lead.
At a time when Americans seem generally fed up with rising consumer prices, I think it’s absolutely vital that AMC take the lead in offering bargains for moviegoers who want them.
That’s why starting July 9, AMC is slashing our prices with 50% admission ticket discounts on all Wednesdays going forward.
For AMC Stubs members only, but it is free, easy and instantaneous to join Stubs.
AMC’s new low Wednesday prices join our other bargain offerings — like Discount Tuesdays, pricing of Matinees, Stubs members earned benefits, along with the greatest bargain of them all: our A-List program that enables you to watch a lot movies each week at a mere fraction of the normal retail price.
How is that for an every Wednesday plot twist?
Appealing movies continue to be released throughout the rest of the third quarter of 2025:
August The Bad Guys 2, The Naked Gun,
The Roses, Caught Stealing
September The Long Walk, Demon Slayer,

And in our view, we believe that the year should end so strong:
October The Smashing Machine,

As we look at the balance of 2025, this is how we feel right about now. And in the it’s so good department, we believe that the film slate for 2026 will gross even more than that of 2025.

June 6 John Wick Ballerina &
The Phoenician Scheme
June 13 How to Train Your Dragon
